— Later That Same Night —
(Britt's P.O.V.)
After AJ and I were done with Roman Reigns completely at this point to him to lick his wounds, I told him one last thing before we exited the ring and that was this: "Be very careful, Roman. You don't want to get hurt before your big match against AJ at Payback." I even went as far as winking at him with a dirty smirk before AJ had to, once again, forcefully make me leave the ring with him.
As we were heading up halfway up the ramp, the crowd starts going crazy, so AJ and I look up at the big screen and see something going on. AJ and spun around, but it was only AJ who was the most concerned while I laughed evilly. Karl and Luke were in the ring with Roman, doing the "Magic Killer" on him.
The crowd was surly pleased and pissed while AJ didn't seem all that pleased by this particular development, even though we had an on-screen reunion earlier in the show.
AJ and I went ahead backstage and only a few minutes later, Roman comes straggling in with his title on his shoulder. All the sudden, we see Mauro stopping him to interview him about what just happened and the damn beating he took from them.
Then, that enters AJ and I. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey," AJ said to Roman, putting his hands up. "I had no idea that would happen. I swear to God! I had no idea."
Roman smirked and replied, "You honestly think I would believe that?" I smiled from behind AJ and Roman seen it. "And you"— he puts his finger almost in my face —"I know for a damn fact that you definitely had something to do with it."
"Awe, how cute," I gushed, faking it completely. "Look at you, Roman. You're actually being relevant for once!"
"Hey! Watch it!" Roman growled and, once again, it's AJ getting in between us.
He still has his finger in my face when I've just had about enough and I slap it away, and place my own index finger in his face. "No, you better watch it, Shield-Boy! You don't realize who the hell I am, do you?" I hissed, but it definitely got his attention. "You might have your cousins and they may have your back, but when it comes down to it, you gotta ask yourself — can you handle the hell that's coming your way?"
"Back off, Liza," AJ demanded calmly, using the nickname of my ring-name. This time, he's definitely trying his best to separate us. He turned his back to me and focused back on Roman. "And I don't appreciate you talking to her like that."
"Looks to me she's just dead weight on your shoulders," Roman snickered with a smug smirk and walked away, out of the camera's angle.
I tried to go after him, but AJ held me back with all he's got. "No, Eliza, no!"
"Why wait until Payback?! AJ will take your ass on any day of the damn week!" I yelled at his faded back. "Watch your damn back and I would advise your cousins to do the same thing!"
"That's good, guys," the camera man assured us and dropped the camera. "Thanks a lot."
"No problem," I smiled and let down my guard a bit. AJ's tight grip remained around my waist as we both smiled at each other. He began to lean in and I did, too, until I heard a voice and I shoved him off of me in such a rush.
"I really get you that angry, don't I?" Roman came back over and began to joke around with me. He was back to smiling and laughing like his normal self.
I nodded and chuckled, "Yeah, I guess so. Gotta make it look real. Am I right?"
He nodded, himself, and replied, "You're right. Well, I'll see y'all." AJ and I waved him goodbye until he was completely out of sight again.
"You totally just shoved me off of you because of Roman, didn't you?" AJ asked with a small grin.
I rolled my eyes and grinned. "Yeah, right, you dork," I chuckled and gave him another small shove to the chest.
He caught me by the wrist and brought me back to him. He kissed my forehead and threw his arm around my shoulders. "When did I get so lucky?"
His question was so simple and it did seem so, too, but it really wasn't. It was only because it was like he was just now wondering how he got so lucky, yet I've been here all along. I didn't want to keep him waiting for an answer, so I just grin and say, "Don't know. I've been here all along."
He moved his arm from around my shoulders to around my waist and I caressed his hand. "Maybe we should try something new," he suddenly said before we entered into catering. We stopped before going in and were standing out of everyone else's way that can enter, of course. He stood in front of me and kept his hands on my hips.
"Like what?" I breathed out, wondering what the hell he was going on about.
"We should, uh," he paused, coughing for a second, but our eyes met again. "You and I, just us two, should go out tonight after the show. We are in beautiful London, after all."
His words hit my face like a flame to a candle to light it. I could feel my insides jumping for joy while my mouth couldn't find the words to speak for myself. Say yes! Now! Dammit! So, slowly, I began to nod my head and say, "Yes, we should."
"Good," he smiled and his eyes lit up when I said that. We began walking into catering. "Great. Well, let's get something to eat now and then we can go back to the locker rooms to get ready."
"Ready for what?" I jumped up when I heard a new voice ask and that's when I was being lifted up. I see that Luke has AJ by the neck and is messing up his hair. That only meant that Karl had me up in the air right now.
"Put me down," I demanded, but couldn't help myself by laughing. "Now, dammit!"
"Fine, fine," he laughed and did as he was told. Once I was back on the ground, the four of us stood together in a little circle. "So, y'all are leaving us out again?"
That sunk my heart down a little. By the look on Karl and Luke's faces, the words were true. And by the look on AJ's, I knew that he felt as bad as I did.
"We didn't come here just to wrestle and do nothing else," Luke pointed out and rested on AJ's shoulder. "We actually do want to hang out with you guys outside of the ring. It wasn't like this until—"
"Shut up," AJ immediately snapped at Luke to do and he quickly fell quiet. It only made me wonder what the hell Luke was about to say.
"What were you going to say?" I asked directly to Luke and crossed my arms over my chest. I pulled my eyebrows together, too.
He opened his mouth to say something. Again, it was AJ in the way. "Nothing, Britt, don't worry 'bout it," AJ tried convincing me with a small shrug and a flat-line stare.
I practically rolled my eyes at AJ and, again, stared directly at Luke. "Now, Luke, I'm going to ask you again and only you," I huffed out and our eyes met in a rush. "What. Were. You. Going. To. Say."
From the corner of my eye, I seen AJ opening his mouth, so I placed my hand over it. Luke still didn't say anything, so I gave Karl a death look. "He was just going to say that it wasn't like this until you two started seeing each other," Karl admitted for both Luke and AJ. Finally!
"Really?" I sighed out and removed my hand from AJ's mouth. I cannot believe he told them... I get that we're all friends and go way back, but still – dammit!
"Listen, Britt, I'm sorry," AJ apologized, using hand gestures. He placed his hands on my shoulders and tried finding my eyes, but I ignored him and out my nose pointed into the air. "I'm sorry, but they're the ones that figured it out."
"Oh, blame us," Karl laughed and nudged Luke, and he joined in.
"I am currently not speaking to any of you," I huffed and rolled my eyes, turning my head away from all three of them. "Hm!"
"Awe, stop being such a baby," I heard AJ say, then his arms sneaked their way around my neck. He pulled me in and kissed my forehead once again. After only a second, he then wrapped his arms around my back.
"Let the old four amigos go out in London, England, tonight together," Karl reintroduced the idea from before and made a begging puppy-dog face at me, especially. "Please, Britt? Please?"
"Fineee," I said out longer than it was supposed to be and rolled my eyes at these three idiots. I swear. "Whatever. Just don't make AJ and me be the ones that drag your asses out of another bar."
"No promises," Luke laughed literally out loud and we all joined in. I found it so damn funny when he makes those crazy ass faces he does. I swear it.
Gosh, these guys!
